Yo, poverty be shakin on every black block Eyes get watery, from smokin crack rocks in crack pipes, sun is down pitch black nights They be dangerous, unless your eyes adjust to the darkness, spark this, rugged paragraph It's bulletproof math, narcotics for addicts Master science sing loud and break it down Never do 12, sum/some is numb, pass it around And check out manipulation of many minds Creatin, precipitation of many crimes (Bo bo bo!) You steady talkin that yang on how it be It's up in your face, but you just can't see Cause arrogance'll have a nigga blinded Rewind it and think about it, before you try and doubt it Negative vibrations that test my patience Them wicked-ass people runnin radio stations want money for a slot but I don't cater to a devil Whether black or white, all day, all night All type eyes open so you know I see the gimmicks Gotta tell these shorties sky's the limit
[Chorus: repeat 2X] The sky's the limit when you know that you can have what you want not take, what you want The sky's the limit when you know that you keep on, when you keep keep keepin on
[No I.D.] Aiyyo shorty, I seen how this life is rough because I lived it, I seen how these times is tough Fought the uphill battles, against all odds Strap yo' feet in the saddle, all praises to God I know you want the good life of luxury cars What you see is close range and what I see is from afar Tryin to warn you bout the traps that'll stab you in the back You see I never kick it falsely - I only spit the facts on how equality, strikes at the worst of times Soon as you tryin to excel and elevate your mind See I was blind bein led by the blind, eatin swine 'til wise (?) got me refined, freed my mind Hey shorty do you know what I mean, sky's the limit A pawn in this game called life, I'm bout to win it It's hard for me to sit and see you do yourself when I'd rather see you do someone else, and that's real
[Dug Infinite] You keep me up nights late, tryin to put the food on the plate In the ghetto black coal unknown is the fate Just a stack of rocks, unrefined black coal (?) test under pressure, make you shine like gold Cause yo, keep it real when a nigga gotta kill Two niggaz bust, two niggaz blood spill Blame it on the ghetto like heiny and the weed but I'm damned and dead, 'fore it spread to my seed You bomb bomb my baby's brain with the game so he can bust shots and sell rocks for fame So when he get old he got murder on the brain Only one skill that's rockin cocaine 'til the world blow up, that's the brand new slang And it don't take much for him to pull out the thang and let it rain.. ad libs.. felt that..
[Chorus] - repeat 1.5X
[Dug Infinite] In every ghetto all over the world We keep keepin it on, Infinite Chi-Town fo' sho'
